dttomq gwwmtoz I l a icnterl Mar. 4, 1930 UNITED STATES EARL BLACKER, F EVERETT, WASHINGTON BAG-DELIVERI G MACHINE Application filed May 7,

The object of myinvention is to provide a novel and efficient bag delivering machine whereby one bag at a time may be conveniently removed from the pack of bags held by the machine and whereby bags of different sizes are conveniently arranged for withdrawal from the apparatus; and to provide the novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described. 'I attain these and other objects of my invention by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure l is a front elevation of the entire apparatus; I

Fig. 2 is a side elevationof same;

Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2, the main portion of the apparatus being shown in top plan;

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the machine showing a person in the act of starting to remove a bag from the bag casing; and h Fig. 5 is a similar view showing the bag nearly withdrawn from the bag casing.

Like numerals designate like parts in each of the several views.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,

I provide a rack 1 having hooks 2 which engage the arm 4 aflixed to the bag casing 3. I provide a weight member 7 mounted on the 9 ends of arms 8 which are provided with pivots 9 pivotally mounted in the arm 4. The casing "3 is provided with a roller 5 near the top thereof, the roller being mounted on suitable pivots 6, as shown in the drawings The 5 weight member? has an arm or wire 10 affixed at 12 to the weight member and terminating in a downturned end. 1] adapted to engage the open end of the bags before they are successively withdrawn from the casing 3.

' I provide two depressions 14 on each side of the upper portionof the casing 3 to cause friction on the sides of thebags and help hold the bags in place, except the outer bag.

In use the upper portion of the upper bag 5 is graspedby the hand, as shown in Fig. 4, and then withdrawn, as shown in Fig. 5, the bag opening as it is withdrawn and allowing the next bag of the pack to come to the front as the outermost bag is pulled outward and downward through the depressions 192?.

14 over the freely rotatable roller 5. The main a convenient location for use. The pivoted weight member 7 presses on the rear portion of the pack of bags to hold them in operative position against the roller 5, the hook or wire 10 also engaging the upper portion of the bags to hold same in the desired position asshown in the drawings, whereby to permit the operator to readily grasp the outermost bagand withdraw it. I

What I claim is z 1. In a bag delivering machine, the combination of a rack having a series of spaced hooks for engaging bag holding casings, a plurality of such bag holders, sai'clbag holders being of different sizes, each of said bag holders comprising a casing to receive the bags, a U-shaped arm affixed to the casingand adapted to be engaged by one of said hooks on the aforesaid rack, a freely rotatable roller mounted in the upper portion of the casing of the bag holder, a weight element pivot ally mounted on the aforesaid U-shaped arm, said weight member also having a wire'ho ok element extending forwardly and loosely engaging the outermost bag, whereby to automatically open the outermost bag to facilitate its withdrawal by the operator.

2. Ina bag deliveringmachine, the combination of a box-like metal bag holder open at one end, said holder having an arm aflixed to it and extending beyond it for attaching the holder to a suitable support, a loosely mounted rollercarried in the upper portion of the holder, a weight element pivotally mounted on the rear lportion of the holder, said weight member also having a wire hook element extending forwardly and having its downturned end loosely engaging the outermost bag, whereby to automatically open the bag to facilitate its withdrawal by the operator.

3. In a bag delivering machine, the combi nation of a box-like metal bag holder open at one end, said holder having an arm aflixed to it and extending beyond it for attaching the holder to a suitable'support, a loosely mounted roller carried in the upper portion of the holder, a weight element pivotally mounted on the rear portion of the holder, said weight member also having an L-shaped wire hook element extending forwardly and having its downturned end loosely engaging the outermost bag, whereby to automatically open the bag to facilitate its withdrawal by the operator.

4. In a bag deliveringmachine, the combi-o nation of a box-like bagholder open at one end, said holder having an arm aflixed to it and extending beyond it for attaching'the' V holder to a suitable support, aloosely mounted roller carried in the upper portion of the holder, a weight element bearing'on the bags directly over the roller, said weight member also having a wire hook element extending forwardly and having its downturned end loosely engaging the outermost bag, whereby to automatically open the bag to facilitate itslwith'drawal by the operator.

:5. In a bag delivering machine, the combination of a box-like bag holder open at one end, said holder havingan arm' affixed to it and extending beyond it for attaching the holder to a suitable support, a loosely mounted roller carried in the upper portion of the holder, a weight element bearing onthe bags directly over the roller, said weightmember also having a wire hook element extending forwardly and having its downturned end looselyengaging the outermost bag, whereby to automatically open the bag to faeilitateits withdrawal by the operator, the bag holder having opposite depressions in its upper portion to frictionally engage the sides of'the 7 bag and help hold it in place.

o 6. Ina bag delivering machine, the combi- I nation of a rack havinga series of spaced hooks for engaglng bag holding casings, a

plurality of such bag holders, said bag holders being of different sizes, each of said bag holderscomprlslng a casing to receive the bags, a U-shaped arm afiixed to the casing and adapted to be engaged by one of said hooks on the aforesaid rack, a freely rotatable roller mounted in the upper portion ofthe casing of the bagholder, a weight element pivotally mounted on the aforesaid U-shaped arm, said weight member also having awire hook element extending forwardly and loosely engaging the outermost bag.
